You're obviously pretty clever.
If you think you are up to it, forget the ego bullshit fights.
Go along with everything! You've changed your mind, you're a believer again.
That then takes all the pressure off you, life is back to normal.
They leave you alone again. Now you have all the time in the world to read your books in peace and privacy.
Then when you are ready to leave home, tell them what you really think.
Remember, the joke's on them.... Go through the motions.
Myself and my 2 older sisters happily took mum to church often.
We couldn't give 2 fucks about religion, but it made her happy in her later years...
Do it for your own sanity. It will make you stronger and you'll see them for the immature dicks that they are.
That will reinforce your atheism I believe.
I can't tell if this is supposed to be a serious response. I COULD lie to them and just let them leave me alone, but if they can't tolerate and accept that I don't believe in their god or ANY god at that, they are narrow-minded. This could help them learn to tolerate others beliefs, but in terms of debate, I wish to be left alone.
